Hello to everyone. We finally landed in Toronto last April 19. Immigration officers are very nice. They distribute a bag full of very useful information. It's a perfect place to stay.
Spend most of your time preparing your things while waiting for your visa.
bakit ganun kahit anong pilit nating maging busy di parin maialis sa atin na mag worry sa tagal ba naman ng mga passport natin sa cem till now wala parin going to six months ang passport namin :( but still wala parin hayyyyy......oct 5 pa ang expiration ng visa namin sa line up natin ang daming maroon team na nahghihintay bago kami sana man lang maging considerate naman sila kasi balita ko ang inuuna daw nila yung under ng ruling party tayo daw ang first batch but sad to say second batch daw ang inaasikaso nila ngayon dahil under nga daw ng ruling party. don't understand! why? ??? masyado na akong emo..... heatspine nabasa ko lahat ng mga info na ibinigay mo meron pa bang iba para mapaglibangan :D :D :Dwahhhhhhh para maubos ko ang oras ko na mayroon pa akong info na nalaman..... :D :D ;D

hello,

Im under the FSw1 application and I would like to join the time line, Our visa validity is on Aug 26, 2011, we sent our passports last november 6, 2010 but unfortunately had to borrow it from the CEM for some emergency reasons and we re-submitted it last December 21,2010. and until now we are still waiting for the visas, btw me and my husband are both nurses and are still in the process of starting to apply for CNO registration.
Hi there! A bit out of topic but I'm inviting you to join our thread about Pinoys applying for CNO registration. We would be grateful if you share you experience. Thanks!

I feel for you noelcezh. Ang hirap kasi gumalaw pag hindi mo pa hawak yung visa mo eh. Parang gusto mo nga magprepare pero walang driving force.
Pero for sure next in line na kayo, and may mga kaso din na medyo malayo pa visa validity pero nauuna pa.

Ako din medyo nalungkot nung nalaman ko na inuuna nila ngayon yung under sa bagong ruling. I'm happy for them of course, pero andun padin yung feeling na
sana tayo din maprioritize.

Tulad ng nurses, pasok naman kami both sa 38 and new 29 NOC pero same delay padin basta kasama ka sa old rules. Yun nga lang may CAP na kasi ngayon
kaya kahit papano suwerte padin tayo na maaga tayo nakapagapply. Ang dami kong kilala na waiting for June para ma-reset na yung quota ng CEM.

Naku oo nga added stress din yung sa kids. Pero I've read na anytime you land in Canada, you can enroll your kids to school. Hindi sila strict pag dating sa ganyan. Pro education daw mga tao dun.
Hindi naman siguro October. Naisip ko nga din what if abutan ako ng expiration ng visa validity? Hindi naman siguro tayo papamedical ulit kasi sila ang may kasalanan ng delay hindi naman
tayo di ba? Worst case i-extend nila visa validity siguro? Pero wag mo isipin yun positive vibes tayo.

Ang dami ko nakausap sa CIIP at COA na wala padin VISA. at nakakaawa sila dahil hindi nila alam tong forum. Sinuggest ko nga na magforum sila eh. As in mas stressed sila
compare satin na kahit papano may benchmark tayo at "theories" na sinusunod with regards to visa release. Ako check ako ng ECAS everyday since December...nung ginawa tong
forum every tuesday nalang ako nagcheck hehe.

baket kaya 1 per week lang, i mean 1 visa expiration day per week lang ang na-DDM. Kung ako Sept 25 pa ang expiration ko, ibig ba sabihin 17 weeks ba (4 months) bago ako mag-DM?? (Sept 25 minus Sept 8 = 17) Sobrang exag naman!! pano na makakamove on nito??

Thanks for reading noelcezh! I'll continue to put in more info on the Migrate Here site para mas maging rich ang content.


Anyways, here's a trend na pwedeng tingnan:

Applicant Days Before Expiry
shazam 184.00
canada5 185.00
darlove 173.00
gido 173.00
bcd0819 176.00
jinky 176.00
kooks 176.00
anche 162.00
ghe 170.00
jaysite 164.00
gade23 158.00
bootz 158.00
deverdad 156.00
floxs 157.00
asitoja 182.00
bonsai 172.00
carlonoweast 194.00
canada73 226.00
gemzurc 151.00
ytsirc16 147.00
paulferrer 143.00

* Though nothing can be conclusive, its interesting to note that yung visa issuance date vs. its expiration is getting smaller ... i.e. mas umiiksi ang days natin to prepare. estimates lang yung nasa mga nasa huli kasi wala pa naman actual visa issuance sa table. the trend continues to go down, so it means pwedeng gulatan na lang sa pagdating. tingin ko floor na nila ang 120 days (sana), kaya observe lang tayo and let's do our preparation as early as now kasi baka magkulang ang oras kung antayin pa natin ma-issue ang visa bago tayo magsimula mag prepare.

Dear Friends,
My agent just made a second follow up email last week regarding the status of our passports + visa and answered the same as the first follow up 1 month ago that the file is still on queue for finalization and if I need my passport that I should write a letter but this time CEM said they will no longer answer any query regarding this issue. Problem is I'm working abroad and just resigned from my work and nearing my notice period. Sobrang distressing itong paghihintay, I need a reliable source to tell me why it's taking so long it's more than 90 days already. :-\
